Technological Hegemony

The audience burst into enthusiastic applause, and everyone was stunned by Luo Jia's space elevator plan. Compared to powerful space elevators, rockets, space shuttles, and satellite networks, these seemingly unattainable space technologies are simply unattainable. Weak burst, OK?

Human beings have already proven that they have the ability to go to space as early as 1969, but why is space still a distant dream of human beings to this day?

The reason is simple, because the cost of going to space once is too expensive for him!

Throwing tens of billions of dollars down just to hear a sound and show off in front of fellow Earthmen, this kind of face project Luo Jiake will not do.

He proposed the space elevator plan in order to turn the space industry into a set of industries and use the profits generated by space development to support the long road to the sea of ​​stars.

The brainstorming team's scientists cheered. Luo Jia's plan is obviously not to compete with North America, but to truly prepare for the development of the universe. Once successful, it will be in the next few hundred years or even thousands of years. Continually bring surprises and happiness to humans on earth. .

Not surprisingly, the Space Elevator Program was approved by the Brainstorming Team in unanimous votes, and received unprecedented support.

Everyone was full of praise for this plan. The straight men were almost crazy. In order to be able to realize the dream of a starry sea in their lifetime, they immediately started a long and busy preparation.

...

The capital of Shanghai is less than 30 minutes' drive from Xingchen Technology Baoshan headquarters, Huaxia COMAC.

After Luo Jia and Li Moran got out of the car, they were greeted by Du Liangyu, Chief Engineer of COMAC, and Li He, President.

"How's it? Do we still use our new version of CFD software?" Li Moran asked with a smile.

Xingchen Technology is the largest software supplier of COMAC. From computational fluid dynamics to three-dimensional industrial design, COMAC uses domestic software. The former chief software supplier Dassault has long been swept into history. In the heap, it turns out that the arrogant and lazy Frenchman has no fighting power compared to Star Technology.

"Usage to use, use to use." Du Liangyu quickly said: "This revision has added a lot of practical functions, especially the third generation of artificial intelligence, which has greatly helped our efficiency improvement."

They chatted along the way and came to the No. 3 workshop, where they saw a brand new seven-axis linkage robotic arm arranged in order to form a fully automatic production line.

The seven-axis linkage large-scale machining center and the seven-axis linkage manipulator are new products just launched by Xingchen Technology. So far, the layout of Xingchen Technology in the field of high-precision industrial machine tools is basically completed.

Due to its emphasis on the aviation industry, COMAC was the first company approved to purchase machine tools.

Yes, the machine tools and robotic arms produced by Xingchen Technology are not available for money, especially the mechanical arms. Because of the powerful mechanical replacement of artificial attributes, once the factory puts in a lot of robotic arms, the production line workers lose their jobs every minute, so they are strictly controlled. The sale is restricted in order to provide ordinary people with enough jobs.

COMAC's engineers praised Xingchen's machine tools and robotic arms. Because of the use of ultrasonic geared motors as the main drive, the efficiency and accuracy of Xingchen's machine tools have set a historical record, not to mention the use of carbon fiber in the manufacturing process. And next-generation top materials like graphene.

"The mechanical sector has included electric propulsion aero engines in the plan. You must also prepare early. The fuel age will definitely pass. Electric propulsion is the future. It is better for us to set up a joint laboratory, in addition to jointly developing electric propulsion aircraft. The key technology needed, and more importantly, we can also work together to develop standards. "After looking at the production line, Luo Jia took the opportunity to disclose the news to Li He.

Such a company as COMAC is actually a national team wearing a vest. It is not impossible to bypass them alone, but it is not necessary. Star Technology is so large today that it is inevitable to engage with the national team. contact.

Uh ~

After listening to Luo Jia's words, Li He and Du Liangyu were all stunned. It never occurred to them that Xingchen Technology would kill the aero engine field?

So far, COMAC's plan is to gather global suppliers to build a large international aircraft. Except for the software mainly from Xingchen Technology, the remaining major suppliers are mainly foreign companies.

The reason behind this is not that COMAC is unwilling to increase the localization rate. After the painful lessons of the trade war, COMAC simply dreamed of building a large domestic aircraft. Unfortunately, the domestic aviation industry is far from the top of the world. No qualified alternatives were found.

Xingchen Technology has the strength to do import substitution projects. However, Xingchen Technology does not seem to have the willingness to make efforts in the aviation field. In the past two years, they have been working on semiconductors.

"General Luo, are you kidding me?" Li He asked with wide eyes.

Luo Jia smiled. "This kind of thing, how can we be kidding? Isn't the semiconductor project over? It's just across the Pacific and aggressive, and wants to compete with us in space."

"Come without being rude, people have hit the doorstep, and we have no reason to be a tortoise. No, aviation and aerospace are one, aviation is like walking, space is like running, if you want to learn to run, you must first walk Therefore, from now on, we will increase investment in the aviation field and believe that there will be many opportunities for cooperation in the future. "

After listening to Luo Jia's explanation, Du Liangyu and Li He looked surprised, and then turned a little worried.

Anyone who can see it can see that Musk and Luo Jia have been engaged in space battles from the beginning to the end. North America has engaged in space races with the former Soviet Union. The foundation is too high. If Star Technology also joins the space race, I am afraid It is not enough to throw all the money made in previous years into it.

"Don't worry about money." Luo Jia said, "The four major Chinese banks have promised to fully support our development of the aerospace industry. To say that the real difficulty is the lack of talent and experience, which has brought us a lot of money. trouble."

Du Liangyu said: "Since the four major banks have already promised, we don't have much to say. I don't know if there is any place where we can help with talents."

"I'm afraid it's very difficult for you to help." Luo Jia said helplessly. "One of the main reasons for the rapid expansion of Xingchen Technology is the large number of scientists returning from overseas, including Enron and Cao Yuan. They all returned from abroad. . "

"But aerospace is different. It belongs to a professional field strictly controlled by the West. Not to mention Chinese students, even native Chinese, it is difficult to enter the core department of NASA."

"The difficulties are naturally there, but you don't have to worry too much. There must be a road to the mountain. In addition to the human resources department, there is also the life science department. At the critical moment, the life science department can also be used as our card.

Du Liangyu was puzzled, and did not understand how the digging of the wall had anything to do with the Department of Life Sciences?

However, after thinking about it for a while, Du Liangyu showed an expression of sudden realization.

In the final analysis, scientists are human and are afraid of death.

...

An old-fashioned residential building next to Luxembourg Gardens in the 6th arrondissement of Paris.

Dr. Pierre welcomed a special guest in his home on the fourth floor.

Her name is Yuan Yuan, a short Chinese woman with long black hair, who claims to be the personnel consultant of Xingchen Technology, and speaks French with a slight southern accent.

"I graduated from the Faculty of Law of Marseille University." Yuan Yuan took the coffee and explained the origin of her Southern French accent politely.

Dr. Pierre was suddenly energized. Before entering the European Space Agency, he was the chief scientist of Marseille Provence Observatory, and Yuan Yuan was an alumnus.

After a simple exchange, Yuan Yuan successfully gained the trust of Dr. Pierre. An old friend of the doctor at Marseille University happened to be Yuan Yuan's graduate mentor, which brought a common topic between the two.

Dr. Pierre has no doubt that Xingchen Technology must have carefully investigated before Yuan Yuan came to meet him, but he was not disgusted by this move, but believed that it was the importance of Xingchen Technology to himself.

After all, not everyone is qualified to be valued by the world's largest technology company. Yuan Yuan came to the door on behalf of Xingchen Technology. Dr. Pierre was very proud, and bragged fiercely to his daughter.

"Suppose you just send someone who doesn't even speak French. That's bad." Dr. Pierre thought, most French people arrogantly believe that French is the most elegant language in the world. Although Dr. Pierre's English is good enough to read Shakespeare, he still resists all languages ​​except French.

Yuan Yuan smiled, concisely but politely, and expressed his intentions. When he talked about Pierre's mother with kidney cancer, the doctor jerked violently, apparently deeply touched by Yuan Yuan's words. .

"You guys can let my mother live this Christmas safely !?" Dr. Pierre jumped excitedly, with blue veins appearing on his forehead, his expression honest, a little scary.

Yuan Yuan smiled, "If nothing unexpected happens, we can not only let your mother spend this Christmas, but also let her spend the next year, the following year, and even ten years later, your mother can still drive Happy to open Christmas gifts. "

"As for the reason, I think you should know that we have a department called Life Sciences, and my colleagues have just completed immunoactivation therapy, and they are currently working **** metabolic control."

Dr. Pierre was stunned. He asked hoarsely, "You're done? How is this possible! The news has never announced this. After the failure of the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, you are the only hope for humankind, and the world is here. Look at you! "

Yuan Yuan said with a playful smile: "The news is indeed not announced, and it will not be announced for a long time. After all, saving the world is God's obligation, not ours. As long as we take care of ourselves, we will already Very satisfied. "

This apparently embarrassing words made Dr. Pierre do not know how to answer. At this moment, all his mind was the mother who was undergoing treatment and his hair had all gone out. She was so thin now, the doctor said, I'm afraid she can't go to the seaside in Nice this summer as usual, because she doesn't have enough time.

Thinking of this, Dr. Pierre clenched his fist, "I think you should talk about the conditions on behalf of Xingchen Technology?"

Yuan Yuan smiled and nodded. "I'm afraid you are mistaken."

"Oh?" Pierre looked up, looking at a little dark-haired woman, confused.

"Xingchen Technology never negotiates conditions with individuals, and all employees implement the company's existing welfare system." Yuan Yuan explained: "Dr. Jean Pierre, you are the European Space Agency's Gaia 2 Space Telescope Project, Galaxy Panorama The plan ’s chief scientific adviser, meanwhile serving as deputy director of the Mars Bureau, right? ”

Pierre nodded with a complex look. It is not difficult to see from his post. He is a scientist of great importance to the European Space Agency, specializing in the field of space observation.

"According to Xingchen Technology's standards, you can enjoy the company's eighteenth level treatment." Yuan Yuan said lightly: "In simple terms, our boss Luo Jia is twenty-first, and the two presidents of Enron and Li Moran are both At the 20th level, the heads of major laboratories and subsidiaries are at the 19th level, and you are at the 18th level. In our company, the 18th level is already a very high position, which shows our sincerity and importance to you. "

Pierre did not say anything ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Everyone knows that Luo Jia is not a sloppy boss. The salary and bonuses offered by Xingchen Technology are the highest in the world. If nothing else, Pierre will join Xingchen With technology, salaries will be much higher than at present.

"Should there be other conditions?" Pierre asked frowning.

"Yes, you and your family need to join Huaxia nationality. From now on, they are bound by Huaxia law." Yuan Yuan said quite frankly.

Dr. Pierre was surprised to the extreme, and gradually opened his mouth, "Joining Chinese nationality? I heard that you don't seem to welcome foreigners' naturalization. It is the most difficult country for immigrants in the world."

Yuan Yuan heard Pierre's words and said with a bright smile: "Doctor, you must understand that China has been the most open and inclusive civilization in the world since ancient times, and it has been this way since the Han and Tang Dynasties. We are not against foreigners, we are against stupidity! It is religion! It is greed and deception! It is all low quality! "

"As for you, Ph.D., a well-known mathematician who has graduated from Paris Normal University, a space observation expert who is responsible for several core projects at the European Space Agency, we are not crazy, how can we oppose you?"
